Chevelle – Hunter Eats Hunter Lyrics 10 years ago
Here is what I hear from this song.

He ended up outside for whatever reason and saw the eyes of a predator (or hunter) and that predator can be whatever.

Then it goes on to describe the fear. People say don't run, but that usually gets thrown out the window when you are actually in danger.

You feel like bait because its just watching you, and you need to keep focused on the situation (careful where the mind goes).
I'm not super sure on the final line of the chorus. Maybe its about ending up dying alone?

Trying to hold your breath to be quiet or still, is harder than it seems. Don't try it.
Then it describes the fear intensifying and then it appears the "Hunter" makes its move toward the guy (just grabbed my arm).

Then, it sounds like to me, the guy realizes he's going to have to fight his way out of this. (I'll beat this jackal down) Send it back beyond meaning obviously to kill it.

Then the showdown begins...
"Hunter Meets Hunter"
"Hunter Eats Hunter"

That's how I think of it.
This song is really great and intense.

Snow Patrol – You Could Be Happy Lyrics 10 years ago
One thing I really like about this song is actually not even IN the song.
In the little booklet that comes with the album if you go to the lyrics of this song, there is one line that isn't in the song, but it is at the end.

"You should be happy no matter what"

It could be a mistake, but I think it was intentionally put there to make the person reading it THINK it themselves, which makes it even more personal.

Just a little side note that I really liked.

Dashboard Confessional – Dusk and Summer Lyrics 10 years ago
XX I think this is a song about the death of someone you loved, but someone you hadn't known for very long.

XX If it starts with an "XX" Those are my comments.

----
She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes
Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer
And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers
She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
-----

XX Remembering the few times you spent together and what you loved about XX her.
XX This would be a specific memory being recalled.

-----
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
But you've already lost
When you only had barely enough to hang on
-----

XX You already lost because she is gone. She died while you were getting to XX know her. You have barely enough to hang on to, because you didn't get to XX share many experiences with her.

-----
And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
-----

XX Remembering how she helped you and made you better.

-----
She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap
She said "Nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"
----

XX She confided in you and told you things you wished you could help her with.
XX You saw the more vulnerable side of her. This shows how close you were
XX with her.

----
She said, "No one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known
Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last
----

XX You held her looser than you would have if you knew she was going to be
XX gone so soon.
XX She was what tied your life together, which implies that your life has now
XX come undone.
XX The days of happiness should have lasted a lot longer than they did.

----
Hang on
Hang on
Hang on
----

XX Now you are just trying to hang on after the horrible tragedy.


XX This is just my interpretation, although typically mine are kinda depressing XX as you can tell..

Blue October – Angels in Everything Lyrics 10 years ago
TO HELP DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE, I'M GOING TO BE TYPING IN CAPS. THE LOWERCASE IS THE SONG.

I THINK THIS SONG IS ABOUT SOMEONE COMING IN AND CHANGING YOUR LIFE.

I've sat at the back of the line for years,
Wishing the world wouldn't spin,
I give in, alone again it appears.
There were pieces of me that lived in corners on a hard wood floor.
Until an Angel walked in through my door.

FIRST IT TALKS ABOUT HOW HE WAS A WRECK BY HIMSELF. NOTHING WENT RIGHT, HE WAS ALWAYS LAST AND WAS DONE WITH LIFE.
THEN HE FOUND AN "ANGEL" (OR A WOMAN) THAT HE TRULY LOVED.

Time stopped, the arch of her back grew wings.
And pulling me further from a devil to a heaven, she said "Believe."
True peace as she looked into my soul.
She said "I'm here to show you faith, and to help you when you fall."

SHE THEN STARTS HELPING TO CORRECT HIM AND BRING HIM UP. WHEN SHE SAYS BELIEVE, I FEEL LIKE SHE IS SAYING, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, IN ME, AND IN OUR LOVE. SHE TELLS HIM TO HAVE FAITH AND SHE WILL HELP HIM IF HE FALLS DOWN AGAIN.

[Chorus]
Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel,
Flies

THE CHORUS IS HIM SINGING ABOUT HOW HE LOVES HER AND HE IS SO HAPPY SHE IS IN HIS LIFE BECAUSE IT CHANGED HIM FOR THE BETTER.

I'll whisper in your ear,
You are mine, and you will never have to be alone.
And when I pull you near,
You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone.
So let me be the one to lift you up,
I'll carry you home.
'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe,
And to catch you when you fall.

SHOWING HIS LOVE FOR HER. HE ALSO ENDS UP RETURNING THE FAVOR, KEEPING HER SAFE AND CATCHING HER WHEN SHE FALLS.

[Chorus]
Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel,
Flies

Only you can see the true me,
Through all the right, and wrong.
Take hold, the best has yet to come.
(Yeah)
You've given me the strength to believe in my heart again!
And now we're here to share this faith.
Stand together through it all.

THIS MAKES ME THINK OF MARRIAGE. SHE KNOWS HIM BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, THE BEST IS YET TO COME, STAND TOGETHER THROUGH IT ALL. THEY GET MARRIED AT THIS POINT.

[Chorus]
Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel,
Flies

Can you feel my heart,
Beating underneath these stars?
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
Live every moment like an Angel,
Flies

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh.

That's who you are!
You're the Angel that came, and took these clouds away.
You made me believe!
Never be weak, be strong.
So really strong!

Ohohohoh,
Ohohohoh,
OooooooooooooooOooooooooh!

That's who you are
You're the Angel that came,
And took these clouds away

THE REST IS MAINLY REPEATING, BUT THAT IS WHAT I HEAR WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
BLUE OCTOBER DOES A GOOD JOB.

Breaking Benjamin – Break My Fall Lyrics 10 years ago
I feel like this song is about someone who is trying to help a friend from doing something bad again. A relapse in behavior, whether minor or major:

You fought me once, but not again
Let me feel your heavy hand
I will clean your fucking mess
And leave no trace of evidence


Talking about past experiences, the person doesn't seem to want the help.
But the person trying to help is going to clean up after them to try and help.


I am losing you again
Let me out, and let me in
Cause you're not alone here, not at all
Let me belong here, break my fall...


The Person trying to help realizes he's is losing the person again. Asking him to either let me in or out, because you AREN'T ALONE. Let me help you. Break my fall i think is significant of a trust fall. Asking him to trust him.


Shelter me from this again
Dedicated to the end
Help me break my conscience in
to free us from our innocence

I think this is the person who needs help starting to realize what the other person is doing and how they are trying to help.


I am losing you again
Let me out, or let me in
Cause you're not alone here, not at all
Let me belong here, break my fall...


Mayday, mayday
Requesting permission to land
I cannot control the plane
We are in danger of crashing


This I think is just significant of them both being in danger of "crashing" because they are both wrapped up in this. The person trying to help cleaned up their mess, which got him involved.


I am losing you again...
Let me out, and let me in
Cause you're not alone here, not at all
Let me belong here, break my fall...
Break my fall...
Break my fall...
Break my fall...
Break my fall...


But this is just my interpretation and it seemed to fit well.
This song is awesome!
Breaking Benjamin rocks!
